That's really helpful, thank you. I've ordered an AX23 which will arrive tomorrow. I'll try to figure it out in the next few days and report back.

Thank you! I'll evaluate and report back.

And openwrt is capable enough?

Yeah it's insane right? Every address is reachable when I open a port range. And it's like there are ~ 10 predefined services (HTTP/S, SMTP, ...) and the category "All other ports" where also 22 is part of. So I really have the choice to either keep everything shut or leave everything wide open.

I think I can't use my own modem but I'll have to double check with my ISP. But yes the Wi-Fi is also provided by that router and it's also quite crappy.

Thank you! Do you have an example for such a firewall device? Could something like the TP-Link Archer AX55 in IPv6 "pass-through" mode do the job? Or would you go for a standalone firewall? My budget is around a hundret bucks.

 

Hey fellow self-hosting lemmoids

Disclaimer: not at all a network specialist

I'm currently setting up a new home server in a network where I'm given GUA IPv6 addresses in a 64 bit subnet (which means, if I understand correctly, that I can set up many devices in my network that are accessible via a fixed IP to the oustide world). Everything works so far, my services are reachable.

Now my problem is, that I need to use the router provided by my ISP, and it's - big surprise here - crap. The biggest concern for me is that I don't have fine-grained control over firewall rules. I can only open ports in groups (e.g. "Web", "All other ports") and I can only do this network-wide and not for specific IPs.

I'm thinking about getting a second router with a better IPv6 firewall and only use the ISP router as a "modem". Now I'm not sure how things would play out regarding my GUA addresses. Could a potential second router also assign addresses to devices in that globally routable space directly? Or would I need some sort of NAT? I've seen some modern routers with the capability of "pass-through" IPv6 address allocation, but I'm unsure if the firewall of the router would still work in such a configuration.

In IPv4 I used to have a similar setup, where router 1 would just forward all packets for some ports to router 2, which then would decide which device should receive them.

Has any of you experience with a similar setup? And if so, could you even recommend a router?

Many thanks!

Take a look at the podman kube play command which lets you run K8s-style stack definitions on podman. Has partly replaced compose for me (although I still have some docker servers running for stacks that don't play nicely with podman yet).

That's what's kept me from using it, although I very much like the idea of paying for a good service. I would love to see them figure out a way to avoid accounts.

IIRC there is a plugin for Caddy that can do what you are looking for.

Edit: here you go

Your comment reminds me of that great tune by Pink Floyd.

Probably not what OP is looking for.

But I'm also happy with my Garmin Instinct. I use it disconnected from my phone, it does everything I need offline and stand-alone. To add tracks for navigation I just connect it to my linux laptop and drop the GPX file into the NewFiles (or whatever it's called) folder on the watch. I was surprised how well it works without official apps. The only thing I used the app for was to update the firmware when I bought the watch.

Also, fittrackee looks promising - thanks for the tip!

I would second that. I currently use nix besides Flatpaks for development environments but also find it somewhat overcomplicated. Looking forward to give toolbx a try.

I migrated my home- and webservers from Debian to FCOS a while ago and I'm very happy with how everything works.

Troubleshooting butane/ignition was a bit of a pain in the butt but worth it imo. I suggest just reading through the FCOS docs, they guided me well while setting everything up. I use podman on my webservers and docker on the homeserver (bc nextcloud aio is not fully podman compatible). I use the installer to build a pre-configured ISO that I can deploy where I want to.

Someone in the comments mentioned Flatcar, which I think looks compelling as well, since it's basically the same but more of a community effort.

 

I've been looking into self-hosting LLMs or stable diffusion models using something like LocalAI and / or Ollama and LibreChat.

Some questions to get a nice discussion going:

  • Any of you have experience with this?
  • What are your motivations?
  • What are you using in terms of hardware?
  • Considerations regarding energy efficiency and associated costs?
  • What about renting a GPU? Privacy implications?
 

Just wanted to share my happiness.

AIO is the new (at least on my timeline) installation method of Nextcloud, where most of the heavy-lifting is taken care of automatically.
